you know, this is the kind of excellent photography that unfortunately gets few comments on forums. very nice!

some comments....i wish it were bigger so i could see it better. that's just a posting thing. i might have cropped off some of the left, because there's a point where i don't think more track does any better job of telling the story.

i like this image, though, because it's easy to imagine a story. sort of gives me a feeling of waiting for a way to get to some other place, but always being on just the wrong track. escape is so close, yet so far...

I like the overall concept of this image.

There's a horizon line that's tilted (see the building in the background? The window line on it tilts to the right.)

The entire picture looks like it's leaning to the right...

As a method of capturing the image, you can intentionally make the image lean, but that would require a bit more of a rotation...

You might want to re-think the border...because it's black, the bottom left of the image disappears into it. A 1 or 2 point white outline of the photo, then the black (or another color) border might look good...

This works for me, tilt and all. Nice job!

Very nice. I'd like to see a bigger version. I like it all, except the yellow tint, but that's just personal preference. Very well done!

as mentioned, a white trim line between the image and boder (and a drop shadow on the text) will separate things quite nicely. The tilt bugs me more than the tint, but not in a major way. composition is excellent. The single person is absolutely top drawer.

I forgot to mention that I like the tilt. I think it accentuates the train.
